Bearing in mind that only a small minority of members use the boards, GR should be sending us all an email instead of those silly little "Is this your Ancestor?"

Marion.....I wonder if they will compensate us when it knackers our computers? I won't hold my breath!

Hi all :))

It would't take much for them to let us know what's going on.Even to say..yes we have a problem and are dealing with it.
Not a nice way to treat us.
The members have been of more help.

I agree that GR should should put a thread up telling its members what is going on. It is and will continue to put people off logging on to the site. xxxxx

I suggested this on another thread - I can see no reason why Genes cant sent an email to all members, explaining what is happening and what to do.

I have sent an email to all my contacts in my OE address book - hopefully it will get forwarded.

Considering ITV owns this site - a small item could have been put in a news programme - or perhaps GR/ITV trying to hide it - hence no acknowledgement that anything is 'amiss'.

Methinks a newspaper or a BBC programme like 'Watchdog' would be interested.

since I stopped the adverts I haven't had a problem at all. I assume that most of the admin team don't work at weekends. Maybe they think that communicating with Errol is sufficient. They probably wont read this thread so you all need to contact them direct really.

Viruses happen............they always have and always will.

GR maybe should keep us informed. but maybe as it's the weekend they haven't the staff to sort it out.

Personally.................I have faith in the advice Errol, Ron and other knowledgable members have given us.

It won't stop me using the site.

Never thought about the staff being off or low at weekend.
But still, they should tell us.

Shouldn't they sort the problem out before they go off!

I'm sure if they could jeanette they would...personally I would rather they spent their time sorting out the problem rather than posting a thread telling us there is a problem...we already know that. I, and many others have the confidence in Errol to communicate with GR on our behalf to sort this out ASAP.He is a very intelligent and knowledgable man doing us all a good turn....or at least trying!

MarionfromScotland Report 3 Feb 2008 17:31

Not saying Errol hasnt been a great help as I know he has worked hard on this.
Doesn't stop GR from having a wee message though,it would be nice.
